Prologue: A New Home

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Day 1: We have arrived in a desolate location which we at first presumed our sister has control over, for it would not make much sense for her to send us somewhere we control. However, we can see our beloved Equestria and Celestia's beloved sun from our new home; therefore, unless there is another mass in the sky, we have been banished to our moon.

We are displeased with our sister. She has once again underestimated and overlooked our love for Equestria. When we refused to lower our moon, she assumed that we were acting purely in selfishness. She could not be more wrong. We are simply unhappy that her day is celebrated by everypony, but our night is regarded as nothing more than a time for quiet and rest. We shall find a way to escape the confinement of the moon and show Equestria that our night can be just as wonderful as our sister's day. We will bring to them everlasting night and they shall be forever pleased with us.

That is, of course, assuming there is a way to leave. We have tried to fly, but we were unable to ascend more than a few feet as we were stopped by some sort of barrier which was unaffected by our magic. Perhaps over the next few days, we shall roam our moon and find an exit. Otherwise, we fear we shall be stuck here for a very long time.

And indeed, we were stuck for a very long time. One thousand years, to be precise. We documented every day of it, even if only to keep track of how long we were alone. Most days of the first few centuries were exactly the same as it did not take long for us to give up hope of leaving. But, our little ponies, we did meet other ponies who inhabited our moon, at which point we began to write in order to remember, not to pass time. The ponies of the moon did not live on the moon in the same way as the ponies of  Equestria, but rather inside the moon. These ponies helped us to find our way back to our true home and we are eternally grateful to them.

Our story is not the story of our escape or our reason for betraying our sister and our subjects, but rather the story of how we became one with the moon and its people.
